About B-Metro
B-Metro, the voice of metropolitan Birmingham, brings to life the people, places, and things that make this region such an extraordinary place to live. We have developed a magazine and digital brand that reaches out to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, to create a space online and in print that reflects the richness of the community by giving it a voice.
Inside our pages and digital content, you’ll find passion—a passion for this place we call home, the passion of people who are living their best life here in metropolitan Birmingham, and the passionate discourse of ideas, hopes and dreams captured in print and digital media. —Joe O’Donnell, Editor & Publisher
